Much Ado About Nothing Lyrics by Waxahatchee

I throw it in the right direction, please don’t look my way
You stare directly in my eyes, cuz you are brave
You drive around in circles talking, yourself out of rushing
& I sit alone & wait so patient, much ado about nothing

Always the easiest to love & hardest to claim
Knock down everyone else around me & shout out my name
My pride is snapping like a branch shouting at my brain
My friends are making their assumptions, I was just looking for pain

Oh no I’m down & out, I’m tragically amiss
Tell you I’m undefeated, I’m not worth fighting with
Oh no I’ve lost my mind, I’ve lost my mind again
Tell you I’m razor sharp, I’m terrifying

I call somebody, anybody, chasing off my dread
I watch the yellow roses die, a symbolic death
I watch the sky fill up with shapes, I cannot explain
I tell you every passing thought, I was just looking for pain

Oh no the earth is moving, the groundwork’s compromised
Tell you to lose my number & then I call you twice
Oh no it’s getting dark, everyone’s eyes on me
Light me up with one spark, relish the anarchy —

I leave every light on, hunting bygones, play it off like I’m cynical
But I sweat and I swear, say a prayer, stare at your picture, its visceral
And it’s crushing
Much ado about nothing
